 Excellent pan; couple quirksApr 18, 2007
By orangekay
I'm not 100% convinced that the copper core is worth the premium price tag when the aluminum core Master Chef line performs about as admirably in terms of evenness of heating, but this one was in stock and the other one wasn't, so the choice was simple.
It's a tiny little guy, but a solid performer. It came up to temperature quickly, and my infrared thermometer showed the sides staying within 5-10 degrees of the bottom at all times with no significant hot or cold spots anywhere. I elected to prepare a very simple dish--Farina with coconut milk and palm sugar--for its maiden voyage, and it cooked well without any scorching at all. I actually had a hard time telling when it was done because of the complete absence of bubbles--something I'm used to seeing with my old pan which has hot spots a'plenty.
Some people have complained that All-Clad's 1-quart sauciers are off balance and easy to tip. While a bit of pressure on the end of the handle will indeed lift the front off the range by about an inch, you'd really have to knock it pretty hard to actually slosh anything out of it, and every other similarly sized pan I've ever tried exhibited identical behavior. It absolutely does not wobble around of its own accord and I wouldn't worry about it tipping any more than any other pan you might own.
My only real gripe is the handle. I hate all of All-Clad's handles; they're not only uncomfortable, they actually hurt. Using a towel mitigates this somewhat, but the whole point of the stay-cool riveted handle is to eliminate the need for such measures. This one loses extra points because the rivets are simply too large for a pan this size. They jut out way too far and make both stirring and scraping down the sides a tedious, noisy affair. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.
All in all, it's a great pan and it runs circles around the old Calphalon pile of junk it's replacing. It's also made in America and boasts a lifetime warranty, so if you ever manage to stir your way down through to that precious copper, you'll get a new one. Just make sure you realize there is NO LID for this model; gotta step up to the 2-Quart for that.
P.S. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEEP FRY ANYTHING IN THIS PAN. I just had a late night falafel (yes, I know that falafel is not a sauce) preparing incident and while the pan performed as admirably as ever, the fact that the sides conduct so much heat means that all the oil splatter that would ordinarily just kinda sit there until you washed it off BAKES onto the surface. It's not ruined or anything, but man what a lot of scrubbing.

Other All-Clad lids DO NOT fitJun 07, 2008
By WilliWu
They make it clear that this one does not come with a lid, but I would have never guessed that none of their other lids would fit. I have both the 6" stainless lid and the 6-1/2" copper core lid and neither fits. The 6-1/2" that comes with their small copper core saucepans comes closest, buth the shape of the lip (and 1/2" larger pan diameter) make it a precarious balance. Otherwise a very nice pan. I also find the copper core handle with the added bump on the bottom to be a lot more comfortable than their stainless handles.

 A Small Sensation!Feb 15, 2008
By girl from TN
I own several pieces from the Copper Core line, and bought this piece simply because I found an incredible price on it. I didn't expect to use it often, as I tend to reach for my small saucepans; I just thought this saucier was just too small for much of anything. But I have surprised myself with this one! I have melted chocolate, made small batches of glazes, a cooked vinaigrette, and always use it now for my reduction for blender bernaise. It comes in handy more than I expected, and the long handle is especially convenient (and not typical) on cookware of this size. It is quickly becoming a favorite piece. And like my other AC Copper Core, it heats beautifully and evenly on low to medium heat, and is a delight to cook with.
Don't hesitate if you are wondering about the size - you will find many uses and love this little gem.

Great Pan -- Get a Lid on It!Dec 02, 2010
By Agilityman
"agilityman"
This is a wonderful, beautiful, versatile pan with typical All-Clad high quality. The current production is also induction-compatible, so it works perfectly on our induction cook top. It's price is a relative bargain for the All-Clad Copper Core line, actually priced less than the much smaller Copper Core butter warmer.
One problem other reviewers have noted is that All-Clad, for whatever reason, makes no lid for this size saucier, although they do make lids for the 2 and 3 quart sizes. Well, problem solved! Although All-Clad lids are currently unavailable to fit, attractive, perfectly-fitting lids are available from other sources.
If you want a stainless lid, the Paderno model 12561-16 16cm lid will fit perfectly, as shown in the photo I uploaded. The Paderno 12561-16 lid is available from Amazon, although inexplicably Amazon inaccurately describes it as a 4" lid, instead of the 16cm size (6.29") lid that it actually is. It's Paderno World Cuisine Stainless Steel Frying Pan Lid . Be careful you order the 12561-16 lid, not one of the other sizes, as the others won't fit. Other Paderno stainless 16cm-size lids may also fit, but I have not tested them. The Paderno lid looks very nice with the pan and not out-of-place, although the finish is like the brushed finished of the inside of the pot, rather than the mirror-shiny finish of an All-Clad lid.
If you want a nice glass lid to keep an eye on things, get a Pyrex number P83C, which also fit perfectly, as shown in the other photo I uploaded. These are generally available on eBay at modest cost; just search "Pryex P83C".

Love my All-Clad Copper CoreSep 18, 2010
By K. Montgomery
I absolutely love the All-Clad Saucier pans. The 1 quart is very usefull for smaller amounts of sauces. However, I do have the 2 quart as well which I think is one of my most favorite (and most used) pans. I pretty much use it for just about everything.
